With over 2,500 in the pot and the board reading 
, Ari Engel checked in the small blind and his lone opponent, Erick Wright, bet 1,075 in middle position. Engel moved all in for around 15,000 more and Wright made the call, putting Engel at risk.
Engel tabled 
for a pair of sevens along with a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw. He was up against the 
of Wright, who was ahead for the moment with a pair of jacks.
The 
river could not save Engel and he was eliminated. He wished his tablemates luck and made his exit.

On the

"What do you have? Ace-queen of spades? I think he has ace-queen of spades," he said with a big smile on his face.
